CHAPTER 1 ‘Welcome back to Season 2 of Love is in the Air - a game show for masked blind dates! All contestants wear a mask concealing their face to truly encapture the saying “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. In last week’s semi-final round, Contestant 4 took our Fairlady on a romantic picnic date on the beach, where they enjoyed a magnificent cheese platter together. This was definitely a crowd favourite date by far! This week so far, we saw that Contestant 8 took her on a quirky date to the trampoline park which, surprisingly, has been going great so far. Now we will join them on a romantic dinner date at a 5 Michelin star Italian restaurant…’ Kylie arrived to the restaurant in a dazzling silver dress. This dress wasn’t just any dress - Kylie was the biggest rock star ever known to Australian rock culture, and this dress was the one that she wore the night that she performed at the ARIA awards last year, where she stole the show and won the Australian song of the year, with her piece ‘Love at First Sight’! This made Kylie almost the happiest person ever! However all she wanted was a little bit of love in her life. Being one of the biggest performers of all time was tiring and lonely, and she often found herself wondering how she did it all. The only nights she had free, she would sit on the lounge with a glass of wine contemplating her ultimate man. It was difficult for her, touring non-stop and never having a partner to support her. The constant struggle of not having a perfect and supportive man by her side caused sadness to fill her heart during these nights. That same morning, she had gone to the trampoline park with Contestant 8, where she let go of all the stresses of touring and really had fun for the first time in forever. She was nervous, but excited to get to know Contestant 8 a little bit more, before she would have to choose her ideal man in next week’s Finals round. Kylie found 4 to be gorgeously charming, but it was 8’s quirkiness that really caught her eye. 4 had the mind of a crazed romantic, and the body of a pure model. His dream was the same as hers, to live a long, happy life with children that would tour with her wherever she went. They were so similar that sometimes she couldn’t tell the difference between them - she would take his hand and run in a heartbeat. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he was too perfect - it was almost suspicious. It always seemed that he wanted to impress her, was that a good thing? Contestant 8, however, was weird, quirky and slightly awkward. There was something about him - was it his smile? Optimism? Laugh? Voice? For some reason, he was always happy. There wasn’t one time she could think of that he had been uncalm. His voice was odd, but soothing. The only part of his face that Kylie could see was his chin, and this wasn’t sharp and cornered, but instead was rounded and smooth; everything about him was unique, and in it’s own way - kind of perfect.
